Recently, Prof. JIANG Heqing, a researcher from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and Prof. Caro from Hanover University of Germany, jointly developed a novel titanium based dual-phase oxygen permeable membrane. Compared with hydrogen production through renewable energy electrolytic water technology, currently obtaining hydrogen fuel by purifying industrial by-product hydrogen is considered to be a more realistic and inexpensive way due to the low operati...

A new study shows that within 24-72 hours of the interruption of oral hygiene, there was a steep decrease in the presence of ‘good oral bacteria’ and the beneficial anti-inflammatory chemicals they are associated with. An increase of ‘bad bacteria’ typically present in the mouths of patients with periodontitis, a severe gum disease which can lead to tooth damage or loss, was also discovered.
The research team, led by scientists from Single-Cell Center, Qingdao Institute of BioEnergy and Bioprocess Technology at Chinese Academy of Sciences (QIBEBT, CAS) and Procter & Gamble Company (P&G), published their findings in the journal mBio on March 9, 2021.
Poor oral hygiene produces gum-disease bacteria and accelerates oral microbiome aging faster than previously thought.

Recently, a research team led by Prof. LIU Licheng from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) proposed a two-step amination strategy to regulate the electronic structure of M-N/C catalysts (M=Ni, Fe, Zn) and enhance the intrinsic activity of CO2 electrocatalytic reduction. Carbon dioxide (CO2) electrocatalytic reduction driven by renewable electricity can solve the problem of excessive CO2 emissions. Since CO2 is thermodynamically stable, efficient catalysts are needed to reduce the energy consumption in the process...

Recently, the research team led by Prof. LIANG Hanpu from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), report the facile and environment-friendly synthesis of a single-atom Fe catalyst. Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is of utmost significance for renewable and sustainable energy systems, such as fuel cells and metal-air batteries. One major bottleneck for their commercial application lies in the sluggish kinetics of ORR at the c...

Researchers have identified what causes lithium metal batteries (LMBs) to “self-destruct”. This offers great hope of radically enhancing the energy held in batteries without any increase in their size, and at reduced cost—overcoming one of the biggest challenges that lithium-ion batteries face. The findings, led by scientists at the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Lithium metal batteries could double the amount of energy held by lithium-ion batteries, if only their anodes didn't break down into small pieces when they were used.
Now, researchers led by Prof. CUI Guanglei from the Qingdao Institute of Bio...

Recently, a research team led by Prof. LIANG Hanpu from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), put forward a feasible way to synthesize environmentally friendly, inexpensive, and efficient Fe/Pt single-atom bifunctional electrocatalysts (Fe1Pt1/NC). The related progresses were published in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. Environmentally friendly energy-conversion technologies, such as fuel cells and water-splitting systems, have attracted considerable attention. However, application of these electrochemical devices is hindered due to the high energy barrier of oxy...
